"A Zhan, where is your prey?" Concubine Xian looked at Lu Zhan with a smile and asked.
Lu Zhan curled his lips and was about to answer when Xiao Mubei's earth-shattering voice suddenly sounded from behind, "Lu Er, if you don't come over to help me, I will throw away all the rabbits and foxes you hunted, believe it or not!"
Xiao Mubei's roar caused the birds and beasts in the forest to flee in all directions. Everyone's eyes turned to him, but he didn't realize it. He led the horse and walked towards Lu Zhan in a swagger.
.
Only then did Concubine Xian see clearly that Xiao Mubei's horse was loaded with prey. Rabbits and foxes of all sizes were piled all over the horse. Xiao Mubei even carried a bunch of pheasants in his hand.
"A Zhan, you were the one who killed all the prey on Prince Xiao's horse!" Concubine Shu finally found a chance to speak. She smiled coquettishly and said to Lu Zhan, but she glanced at Concubine Xian from the corner of her eye.
"Replying to Concubine Shu, it's not entirely true." Lu Zhan replied with a smile.
After hearing what Lu Zhanzhan said, Concubine Xian immediately smiled and raised her eyebrows at Concubine Shu. Unexpectedly, Lu Zhan's chuckle suddenly sounded again.
"Except for the string in Xiao Mubei's hand, all the ones on the horse were hunted by me!"
"So that's it! Ah Zhan has hunted a lot this time! It seems that I have more hunts than King Qi!" Concubine Shu said in a clear voice.
As soon as Concubine Shu finished speaking, Concubine Xian still had a smile on her face, but her eyes became obviously cold.
"Concubine Shu, please don't forget that His Highness King Qi also hunted a deer?" Seeing Concubine Xian's cold face, the eldest maid beside her hurriedly stepped forward to defend King Qi.
It's okay that she didn't say these words. As soon as she said these words, Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows and smiled more charmingly. She said, "So what's the matter? Today's hunting is about numbers. Whoever hunts more will win."
, is it possible that your majesty can change the rules that have been set long ago in order to let King Qi win!"
After hearing Concubine Shu's words, the palace maid immediately became speechless.
Looking at the pile of prey that Xiao Mubei had brought back, King Qi's face suddenly turned ugly.
Because it was the first day, all those who entered the paddock to hunt were the younger generation of princes, such as the prince of Dingguo, the prince of Wu'anhou, and the minister of war. King Qi was aware of this and chose today.
The end! Anyone with some eyesight who saw his end would know what to do without reminding him, but Lu Zhan suddenly appeared halfway!
Is Lu Zhan's riding and shooting skills so good?
Could it be that these prey are actually half of Xiao Mubei's...
King Qi was thinking about it when Xiao Mubei threw the string of prey on his hand to the ground. Seeing that the little eunuch was about to count it, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it, I'll just do it."
Point, no need to count!" After saying that, he went straight to Lu Zhan.
Like Lu Zhan, Xiao Mubei first bowed to Emperor Zhengxuan and others when he came up, and then he raised his head and said to Emperor Zhengxuan, "Your Majesty, you have to talk to Lu Er! He goes to great lengths to win.
How can anyone only hunt and not pick up the prey? It makes me exhausted!" After saying that, he still didn't have enough. He turned his face, raised his hand and hammered Lu Zhan on the shoulder and said, "Lu Er, this
If you win this autumn hunt, you can get some benefits from me!"
Seeing the two joking faces, King Qi's chest felt even tighter.
"You are all back, where is Ah Qing?" Princess Ning'an didn't see much joy on her face. She frowned slightly and looked at the two of them anxiously.
"My sister! She's right behind me!" Xiao Mubei said with a smile. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw his sister jumping out of the forest on horseback. He hurriedly reached out and pointed at Xiao Muqing and said,
"Look, isn't this girl back?"
Following Xiao Mubei's fingers, Princess Ning'an saw that Xiao Muqing, dressed in red, quickly fell off the horse. She handed the horse to the little eunuch next to her, then raised her feet and walked towards her own stage.
"Sister, here, here!" Xiao Mubei hurriedly waved to her and shouted.
Xiao Muqing was stunned for a moment, then turned around and walked over.
It turns out that the Aqing Ning An was talking about was a girl from Zhennan Palace!
"Your Majesty, my dear! Meet the Concubine Xian, Concubine Shu!" As soon as Xiao Muqing came up, he immediately saluted Emperor Zhengxuan and Concubine Shu. However, what she did was not a woman's blessing ceremony, but a men's customary ceremony.
of salute.
Emperor Zhengxuan was stunned for a moment.
He blinked hard, and for a moment he seemed to be in a trance as if he saw another passionate face.
After waiting for a long time, Emperor Zhengxuan's voice was not heard above his head. Xiao Muqing couldn't help but look up at Emperor Zhengxuan in a strange way.
"Your Majesty, Princess Xiao wishes to greet you." Concubine Shu also noticed that something was wrong with Emperor Zhengxuan, and she smiled and said to Emperor Zhengxuan.
"Ping, level your body!" Emperor Zhengxuan said in a calm voice.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiao Muqing raised her hands and bowed her hands again. Then, she quickly turned to face Princess Ning'an, "Princess."
Princess Ning'an chuckled at her and said softly, "Just come back."
Xiao Muqing also smiled at Princess Ning'an, and then she quickly noticed Xie Wu standing in the corner, "Ah Wu! You are here too!" With that, she walked to Xie Wu's side with a smile.
Emperor Zhengxuan's eyes were fixed on the two of them, and then his eyebrows twisted slightly.
Could it be that the person Ning An fell in love with was a girl from Zhennan Palace!
Thinking of this, Emperor Zhengxuan's expression instantly became solemn.
He thought of the Xiao family's girl's words and deeds just now. She could ride a horse, hunt, and had a cheerful and cheerful personality. She was exactly the same as that person when he was young, not to mention that the foundation and heritage of the Zhennan Palace were far from comparable to that of the Wu'an Hou Palace!
Whether it is for Ning'an or Dingguo Palace, the Xiao family girl is a better choice!
It’s just that Zhennan Prince’s Mansion…
Emperor Zhengxuan's dark eyes suddenly narrowed.
While Emperor Zhengxuan was pondering, the eunuch over there had counted the number of prey that everyone had hunted today, and also made a list and presented it.
Eunuch Liu took the order from the young eunuch and respectfully handed it to Emperor Zhengxuan for his review.
Concubine Shu relied on herself to sit next to Emperor Zhengxuan. Seeing Emperor Zhengxuan unfold the list, she hurriedly leaned over and leaned over. Sure enough, the name at the front was clearly written - Lu Zhan, Duke of Dingguo, followed by King Qi and
Xiao Muching, Prince of Zhennan.
Seeing this, Concubine Shu raised the corners of her lips unconsciously.
Look at the proud looks of King Qi and Concubine Xian just now, haha, what a slap in the face!
Although the idea of picking up leaks is good, you have to find the right person! Not everyone in this world will spoil you! No, my own nephew personally taught King Qi a lesson!
At this time, Concubine Xian also saw the list in Emperor Zhengxuan's hand, and she managed a smile.
Forget it! If you lose, just lose! Anyway, there is no shame in being second!
Concubine Xian took a deep breath and comforted herself in her heart. At the end, she did not forget to wink at King Qi, who looked equally ugly.
Emperor Zhengxuan obviously had the same idea as Concubine Xian, and more importantly, the leader of the autumn hunt this time was his grandson, who was half of his Xiao family, so he was not ashamed!
Therefore, Emperor Zhengxuan took a quick look and handed the order back to Eunuch Liu, "Go ahead!"
"Yes." Eunuch Liu responded respectfully.
The moment Eunuch Liu turned around, Concubine Xian suddenly felt a sarcastic look towards her.
It’s Concubine Shu!
Concubine Xian's eyes darkened.
But Concubine Shu seemed not to notice. She even raised her eyebrows at Concubine Xian. The corners of her red lips even moved silently, and her mouth shape was clearly saying——
Sister, you lose!
"Your Majesty!" Concubine Xian's voice rang out before she could react.
Perhaps the timing of Concubine Xian's words was too abrupt, so when Emperor Zhengxuan heard her calling him, he frowned in displeasure.
At this time, Concubine Xian also found herself dizzy with anger from Concubine Shu. Just when she was about to smooth over the matter, Concubine Shu's coquettish voice rang out first.
"Your Majesty, Sister Xian Fei wants to bring justice to King Qi! After all, King Qi came back after hunting a deer, and A Zhan... Although A Zhan hunted more deer than His Highness King Qi, they were all small.
Pheasant! Rabbit or something!”
"Sister Concubine Shu, I didn't say that!" Concubine Xian looked at Concubine Shu coldly and said to her through gritted teeth.
"Really? Then I think it's my younger sister who misunderstood my elder sister!" Concubine Shu smiled at Concubine Xian and took her words in a good-natured manner. After saying that, she didn't want to secretly blink at Concubine Xian, and then
He turned to Emperor Zhengxuan with regret and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you give King Qi something as a reward? At any rate, King Qi has hunted a deer!"
"Shu Mu Fei! Are you making fun of me!" King Qi finally couldn't help it anymore.
It was just that Lu Zhan had stolen the limelight. Now Concubine Shu actually dared to ridicule him in front of so many powerful officials and nobles!
It is tolerable, but what is intolerable!
"Ayuan!" Seeing that King Qi couldn't keep his temper and looked like he was about to fall out with Concubine Shu, Concubine Xian called him hard.
She originally thought that Concubine Shu was just a bastard who used sex to serve others, but she never expected that this bastard would one day have enlightenment!
Even if A Yuan did not win the first prize today, His Majesty will definitely give it to him because he hunted the elk, which represents auspiciousness. But now, Concubine Shu, this idiot, has opened her mouth. In this way, if Your Majesty rewards you again, others will only think that it is this.
Your Majesty, it was to comfort King Qi that you specially rewarded me!
Killing people and killing people's hearts is nothing more than this!
Concubine Shu, this bitch, when did she become so sinister and vicious!
But how can the King of Qi endure it now? It's okay if the duck has taken flight. Now even the reward has to be arranged by Concubine Shu. How can he endure it anymore?
"Father, I didn't want to say anything originally! However, Concubine Shu is teasing me like this, so I have to say something!" At this point, King Qi solemnly saluted Emperor Zhengxuan.
, then, he turned to Lu Zhan and said, "Azhan, I ask you, are you really the ones hunting all the prey that Prince Xiao is riding on?"
